    08 Defender: removing trim

    I need to take off the rear trim where the speakers live.

    The trim is attached to the aluminium by three plastic clips with philips head screw ends.

    I fear that they aren't unscrewable but rather disposable:


    I've stolen a photo from Solmanic and you can see one of the blighters left of the speaker.

    How are they removed?

    Can they be reused?

    If not where would I get some to replace the old ones buggered in the process?

    Can you remove the speaker and reach in and push it out from the inside?

    the metal grill just clips in and the screws are hidden behind it. although its not always eay to pull the grill out without bending it but it bends back easily

    i think he is talkgin about the plastic trim behind the speaker..not the speaker its self

    although probably still helpful as you would need to remove the speaker annyway to give you access behind the speaker into the unknow and behind the plastic trim

    The clips are easily put back on.

    You will find that Land Rover use double sided tape to hold the speaker trim in place. You may need to clean the old tape off then re-apply new tape.

    OK I've been down this same track with the same bit of trim. I was trying to quickly fit an Engel plug for the trip home.

    What I found was that the 2 screws on the base of the trim plate would undo and I could then lift the plastic expanding plugs. The one on the door frame is the same, but on mine it just kept spinning and I couldn't undo it. I'm yet to get back to this as I was rushed for time and ended up pushing the Engel wires under the back left corner of the trim. I still need to do this and I suspect I'll have to get some way of popping the door trim plug or drilling it out and replacing it, unless I can do everything I want by removing the speaker.

    Good luck with it!
